So one thing I’ve always wondered about when watching the show were these weird symbols in the journal:

I mean this crap is freaking EVERYWHERE

So I thought, hey, now that the Journal is out, maybe we can finally take a stab at solving these things! But how?

It’s not morse code, the sizes and in-between spaces are all over the place and they appear both vertically and horizontally!

And then I saw THIS BULLSHIT

Z?? What? Why?

(I rotated some of these so they would take up less space)

A random 3? I don’t understand!

What

The

FUCK

I give up.

At this point I’m pretty sure this is just Alex messing with us. Tho if anyone has any ideas, please feel free to enlighten me.

They remind me of box plots. They don’t look exactly like box plots are supposed to look but their general appearance is very similar. Maybe Ford used these to record data or something. I forget exactly how box plots work because when I first learned about them I thought they seemed kinda useless
